When sales start declining, that same decline will take more time for the console to be "dead" to the market, if the starting point is up there.
When your starting point for decline is Wii U like levels, then the decline will happen rapidly.

If Wii U's plateau is still dangerously low, then yes, the growth needs to be substantial for the console to have a better chance of lasting in the market more time.

What i was also trying to point out is that the actual low growth happened with pratically all of Nintendo's systems sellers: Mario 2D, Mario 3D, Mario Kart and Smash. The only one missing is Zelda.
If with all that Wii U can't take off, then it's future isn't pretty.


I see another boost happening this summer with Splatoon so with 20 percent already happening and add another 20-30 percent on top of that during the summer, that's pretty damn good when 3rd Parties through a hissing fit and bounced.


A boost might happen, sure.
But the question is: will it just lift sales for a couple of weeks or will it lift Wii U sales on the medium to long term?
Splatoon has potential to lift sales, but only in the short term, in my opinion.
